[PATCH v7 2/3] ftrace: introduce FTRACE_IP_EXTENSION

From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Wed Dec 25 2019 - 04:43:02 EST


On some architectures, the DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is implemented by
gcc's -fpatchable-function-entry option. Take arm64 for example, arm64
makes use of GCC -fpatchable-function-entry=2 option to insert two
nops. When the function is traced, the first nop will be modified to
the LR saver, then the second nop to "bl <ftrace-entry>". we need to
update ftrace_location() to recognise these two instructions as being
part of ftrace. To do this, we introduce FTRACE_IP_EXTENSION to let
ftrace_location search IP, IP + FTRACE_IP_EXTENSION range.
